Less than a day after its release, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is already selling for over double its listed price from NVIDIA.
NVIDIA’s RTX 5090 may not be available for $2,000, but the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti surely is
If you thought the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti’s price of $1,000 was steep, brace yourself. Some retailers are listing it for prices that eclipse even the RTX 5090. This stark increase highlights how some sellers, often called scalpers, are exploiting the situation.
Amazon has showcased some outrageous prices for the RTX 5070 Ti. Rather than staying below $1,000, certain custom models are going for a staggering $2,000. For example, the Gigabyte RTX 5070 Ti Eagle OC ICE SFF is priced at $2,199, while the ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 5070 Ti OC Edition is even more shocking at $2,379.
Some sellers, thankfully, are pricing the RTX 5070 Ti a bit lower. If paying over $2,000 isn’t for you, options are available for around £1,387.17 or about $1,753.37. You can find the Gigabyte RTX 5070 Ti WindForce OC SFF edition for as low as $1,699, which is a common range for various editions.
The RTX 5070 Ti sold out almost instantly after its launch, due to limited supply from NVIDIA to retailers. This has created a shortage, making it harder to find the card in the weeks to come. Some stores have already stopped taking pre-orders.
In certain areas, it looks like the card won’t be hitting the shelves until next month, even though it launched in the first quarter of the year. The RTX 5070 Ti, while not particularly outstanding, has also been affected by these outrageous prices.
For those waiting on the GeForce RTX 5070 and RTX 5060/Ti GPUs, be prepared for potential delays. Reports indicate that these models face bugs and will take more time to release. Overall, the RTX 50 series launch has been somewhat of a mess.
